EXISTING UNIVERSITY EXTENSION AND TRAINING
MODALITIES AND PROGRAMS

Strategies of Implementation

1. Identification of pilot barangay for adoption:

Each campus of the University is required to choose or adopt a pilot

barangay using the following criteria:
● Poorest barangay from a fourth or fifth class municipality

● Willingness of the barangay officials and people
● Accessibility of the target area

● Economic potential/availability of untapped resources
● Favourable peace and order situation
● Support and Commitment from the Municipal Officials

2. Social Preparation/Community Organizing

The social preparation stage is critical to the development of the long term

relationship of the community and the University. Participatory Rural Appraisal
(PRA) is conducted where relationship building is undertaken while the

community dynamics is understood vis-a-vis the external environment of the
community. The results of the PRA and relationships building are then integrated
into the Community Organizing process.
